“Generative AI is already transforming higher ed, giving students more access to professors’ expertise and boosting efficiency for both faculty and students in some fields.

Why it matters: For many college students, the world of ‘personal AI tutors for everyone’ promised by techno-optimists is already here.

The big picture: Computer science professors have had the most success with AI tutors in the classroom so far, mirroring the mass appeal of genAI as a coding assistant. Meanwhile, many educators outside of the STEM fields are more likely to view genAI with suspicion or skepticism.

State of play: In the two years since the release of ChatGPT, the conversations around its use in college classrooms have mostly focused on cheating. But some professors and their students are using it to boost individual learning and make education more equitable.”
